President William Ruto has claimed that the Butere Girls High School play "Echoes of War" was a choreographed plot designed to brainwash the country's children against their leaders.
It was the first time the Head of State addressed the State's controversial decision to stop the performance during the National Drama and Film Festivals in Nakuru last Thursday.
The police action-lobbing teargas at students and halting the play at Kirobon Girls High School-sparked national outrage and drew international attention.
Traumatised and in tears, the students of sang the national anthem and exited the stage.
